The…read moreline was dauntingly long, but it moved relatively quickly (really, there are menus posted while you wait, so you should be ready to go when you reach the order window, but my American is showing). Put simply, this is among the best fish and chips I've ever had. I got the one piece halibut and the bisque. The bisque has a chipotle coconut base, and it's unique and delicious. The fish was fried to perfection, and the halibut inside was a steamy triumph. I added some chipotle lime mayo for the chips. The tartar was lemony and crisp. Chips had that perfect crunchy outer shell with the pillowy potato innards. Cooked to perfection fish and chips while you watch the takeoff and landing of seaplanes. O Canada!

It's a really cool spot right on the pier where you grab your food, find your own seat outside, and enjoy the beautiful water views while you eat. We decided to just order a piece of fish, and wow -- the $15 piece was HUGE! It was fresh, flavorful, and really well prepared. Such a fun, casual place to stop for a delicious meal while enjoying the scenery.

We were in town for a couple days on a short road trip from Seattle. This is a gem tucked away and…read morefound this behind the waterfront pier close to our hotel. This is a fish market with a stand in front and a couple of wooden tables in the street for people to sit. We asked some locals what they were waiting for and by a majority they all said this one of the top places in town for fish tacos and fish and chips. This is also a better deal then what you would get at the pier for 2 pieces of cod and fries bundle it was under 20 dollars. There is a condiments table to gather ketchup, seasonings, and vinegar. They provide tartar sauce. The crispy texture of the batter was on point with a satisfying crunch. It is on the thicker side but not overdone where it takes away from the fish. The fish inside was ohh so soft and tender steaming hot. When vinegar was added, the outside absorbed it well without getting soggy fast. We also got the grilled salmon which was done perfectly and had a subtle smokey flavor. The fish and chip cod was our winner and we actually ran back for a second serving before they closed. When I'm back in town I would love to try the chowder and fish tacos.

What Happened? We are locals and this honestly USED to be our favourite spot for Fish & Chips …read more.. and last Sunday we were so excited to take our out of town guests from the Prairies! Honestly, I was SO embarrassed! First the staff, which used to be so friendly barely made eye contact, and the Halibut and chips we ordered were frankly disgusting ... they clearly had not changed their oil in a very long time -- the fries were all stuck together, nasty, greasy and overcooked. Our meals had that "old greasy diner smell". I can live with non-existent hospitality, but not the poor quality food. My husband is a Tour Guide in Town and often suggest his guests go to Finest at Sea rather than restaurants at Fisherman's Wharf -- he certainly won't be doing that anymore!!! I really wish I hadn't left my phone in the car as I would have really liked to have added some photo evidence. Very Disappointed :(

Knowing that Lebanese food is my favorite of all this was one of our first stops in my two weeks stay. This is a family owned place with the owners behind the counter and working in the kitchen, they appear to be husband and wife, and they couldn't be more friendly or kind. They were so very nice to us and answered all of our silly questions. The food here is magnificent! I had never had tabouli fries before, that was the first. My buddy said their fries were excellent and they are, they are double fried and very crunchy. That is my favorite kind of fry. Pillowy soft on the inside too. The beef-lamb shawarma was special. We got the one with the hot sauce and added more. We are both also chilli heads. I will absolutely be bringing my wife here when we return to the island in the fall. Yalla is 5 stars all the way. Lots of locals in and out while we dined. They know this place is special.

One winter, my parents needed to shop at the Korean grocery store in Coquitlam, and there happened to be a boong-uh-bbang (taiyaki) cart outside. Unfortunately I didn't appreciate red bean at that time, and I knew that pretty much all boong-uh-bbang were filled with red bean paste only. To my delight, I discovered that this cart sold vegetable filled boong-uh-bbang! I prompted scarfed down at least three, and loved every bite of it. For years, I remembered this little cart as a childhood memory. But now that I live here, I can get vegetable-filled boong-uh-bbang more often! The lady who runs the cart is always so nice, and I always wish I could buy more than I do. So make sure to drop by whenever you're in the area and get your veggies!

Lully definitely appreciates his customers, he had a soft spot for organ donars and kids as long as you don't put ketchup on your dog. The hours can be random so check the lullys facebook or call ahead. Theres "indoor" and outdoor seating. Lully has music playing which drowns out the car noise from the lot and road.
